just came here to add my +1 for this. i'm currently looking into cloudron for our tech-focused NPO with over 1000 volunteers and it'd be great to have some (at least basic) LDAP server to integrate with "from the outside". we self-host some more specialized tools (partially other open source tools, partially self-developed) which are not on Cloudron - rightfully so - and it'd be super convenient if we could integrate with Cloudron's LDAP.
The "one login for a lot of services" and permission management (certain apps can only be accessed by certain people) is definitely one of the main attractions of cloudron I see for us and it'd be great if this would be extensible to external apps. This would radically reduce the workload for us full-time employees: right now we have to add volunteers to 5+ different services if we want to properly onboard them.

LDAP/AD Server -
LDAP/AD Serveruff just having read the whole thread: i didn't want to open up a Pandoras box with my comment for anyone, especially @marcusquinn.
Thanks for looking into it!!
it's definitely more a nice-to-have feature for our organisation, so its absence won't keep me from pursuing cloudron

LDAP/AD Server@infogulch to be fair i did not look too much into the process of wrapping up apps in cloudron. if it's quite easy and flexible that could be an alternative for us
Still, sometimes i guess it's just easier / more convenient to keep things separated and integrate via LDAP. E.g. in cases where you might not want to give people access to the cloudron server (which i suppose they'd need to deploy the app).
